1936 S/42 Mauser Luger -- thoughts?

Interesting that an otherwise matching gun in this original, excellent overall condition would have been rebarreled.

Yeah, I thought that odd as well. The barrel's finish is not quite the same as the rest of the pistol either, so I think whoever did it just removed the old barrel and installed this one, with no refinishing. There's no "Made in Germany" anywhere on the barrel, just those three characters down near the receiver. The rest of the pistol is in awesome condition -- everything is very clean.
